(The comment is for most of people in certain countries. I am not mean to any race, nation, and people)
I will analyze "learning" for examples.
Learning for scores (Taiwan)
The libraries in Taiwan have totally different situations before exam and after exam. It's impossible to find any seats in the week before the monthly exam. But in those days without exams you can almost lay on the 4-seat desk for sleeping, and nobody try to bother you.
Learning by fear (China)
While I was typing this article, there is a Chinese girl sitting beside me and studying the text book called TOEFL IBT. When teacher suggested some books which are good to read, the people from China are usually the first students to write down in their notebook. They even didn't hesitate for a second to think what kind of the books are. It seems like if they lost any details others have, they will fall down or die immediately.
learning by motivation (American)
They know what they want to know, and why they should to know. American really focus on what they are doing, because their behavior of learning is motivated by their thirst for knowledge. This is the true of learning. They also concentrate in the moment, so you can find the attitude of their workout is really positive and energetic.
The inspiration of this article is a girl from Vietnam.
When we talk about Vietnam, we probably come up with a poor impression in our mind. However, one day a Vietnam girl totally changed my ideas to her country. Her English speaking is not only fluently but also beautiful. She is also good at Chinese no matter on reading, speaking, and listening. The Vietnam girl really catch my eyes while presenting her presentation about the art of Vietnam. She really attracted my spirit without a perfect outlook. she is such a beautiful girl to me. Oh ~ At that time I can't help but stare at her eyes.
The point I want to share is not only the Vietnam girl but also the new vision of the world.It is the generation to prove your own value by your own efforts but not your background and country. Even though some of us still have stereotypes on some culture, we still can win others' respect by improving our abilities. We were born in the world of American Dream. Everybody can succeed through hard work, and that all people have the potential to live happy, successful lives.
